I hope they continue to fly out of Charlotte to Aruba. I am a creature of habit and really enjoy the airport in Charlotte. I did hear the prices may go up quite a bit I hope this is not true I may have to try another carrier if that happens. I have to be honest there was so much bad press regarding American last year it does kind of make me nervous with the merger and the issues they have had, hopefully no more loose seats etc.

I live in the Tulsa area. AA has a big maintenance facility here. It employs over 7500 workers. They seem happy with the merger according to local news channels. It looks like the name will stay American but the management team will be from U S Air. AA ceo Horton will be stepping down next year and U S Air ceo will be the man. Story here also said it would take a minimum of 2 years before any changes will be completed.

There was an article on the pittsburgh news the other day and although they r keeping the american name, the new logo is a little different...still red, white and blue, but the american logo we are used to seeing is not what will be on the planes....not sure if you go onto usair website if they have it showing yet....
